Drag Queen Raven

THE BLACK RAVEN SAGA

Synopsis Beneath the neon haze and rotting bones of a city choking on its own secrets, a myth hunts in the dark. She is called The Black Raven — part urban legend, part nightmare — feathers for shadows, talons for mercy. But behind the mask, she is Selene Arlen: a broken daughter, a night-shift morgue tech, a woman balancing grief, rage, and the fragile lies she tells to stay human. When her father was murdered by the hidden criminal empire called The Flock, Selene buried her name alongside him and stitched wings from vengeance and steel. By day, she scrubs blood from cold slabs and jokes with friends she cannot truly keep. By night, she glides across rooftops, carving corruption from the city’s veins — one predator at a time. But justice never comes clean. A sadistic serial killer — The Surgeon — slices the city open for his own twisted cure, forcing The Raven to step from the shadows and into a war she can’t fight alone. Her victories draw new monsters: the elusive King Crow, the mastermind of The Flock, who weaves traps that turn her own mask into bait. On her trail stalks Detective Ward, a weary cop who hates vigilantes as much as he hates what they reveal about a broken justice system he can’t fix. As Selene’s secrets bleed into her waking life, she risks losing the fragile pieces that keep her human — her loyal but nosy coworker Jess, her unraveling romance with Evan, and the only man who knows her true face: Micah Torres, the sarcastic tech ghost who arms her wings but cannot mend her wounds. Each hunt costs her more. Each rescue fails to heal the city’s rot. And as The Flock sharpens its claws in the dark, The Raven must choose — how many feathers must she shed before she’s just another monster with blood on her hands? --- The Black Raven: Book One is a brutal, neon-drenched vigilante thriller about grief, masks, and the thin line between savior and executioner — where the only thing sharper than her blades is the truth she fears will destroy her.

The Hiding Queen

After grueling years, Queen Feria Avelia Nightreign finally finishes setting up advanced foundational systems for her kingdom that would make their kingdom function more smoothly, and yet rather than being grateful and joyful, she feels extremely annoyed that her trusted advisors are endlessly trying to convince her to marry already. “I finally have some time to spare for fun, and yet you *guys* want me to waste it on marriage interviews?” Queen Feria glares at her advisors, “nope, not gonna happen.” “Your Majesty you aren’t young anymore, actually you’re about to be in your thirties in just a couple of years. And thirty is quite old to be single your highness.” Finneas tells Queen Feria bluntly. “So? What if I’m old? I still look young and beautiful,” Queen Feria proudly declares, “and of course I’ll still be fit and lithe even after two years and even years after that (all hail my royal pedigree!) so you shouldn’t worry about me getting married, Finneas. It’s more likely you guys just want me to marry so I can finally sympathize with you all and your troubles of not meeting their significant other because of noble duties.” Queen smirks as she sharply looks at her advisors one by one. *coughs* “That’s not true at all your highness!" Hugh, another trusted advisor, blurts out. “Right, Feel our pain, your Highness!” George nods as he agrees. While Finneas just silently meets Queen Feria’s glare. Queen Feria continues to glare at her advisors while they stay quiet yet firmly meets her gaze. The silence then is broken by a knock on the door. “Sister, can I come in?” Albert Fennia Nightreign asks. Upon hearing her brother’s voice, Queen Feria is struck by an idea. With a sly smile, she says, “Come in Al, you’re just in time, thanks to you I just came up with another brilliant plan of mine~” Hugh, George, and Finneas, baffled by the queen’s sudden change of mood, look at each other as Albert comes in. “You have another plan to do, Sister? But I thought you are free right now?” Albert looks at his sister with his eyes shining with curiosity. “Yes, my dear Brother. Just now I came up with a brilliant plan that would ease those fools over there while still having some fun, heh heh, Hah Hah!~” Finneas adjusts his glasses, which is a habit whenever he feels uneasy, while both Hugh and George shiver from a sudden cold feeling. Albert with a confused face looks back and forth between his laughing sister and her advisors. It turns out that Queen Feria’s plan was to enroll in the prestigious Academy of Escarton, to find a suitable marriage partner while crossdressing and impersonating her brother. Queen Feria was even able to recruit her brother to play the part of her personal servant. It was already too late when her advisors found out this true plan of hers. So, they regrettably lament for all the poor innocent souls that their queen will corrupt.

The Pale Raven

In a world where ancient pillars of power—hidden Elixir Paths, ubiquitous Mana, ethereal Entities, and Vita enhancements—shape destinies, seven-year-old Aiden is a unique child of a powerful lineage. Destined for greatness, he undergoes secret rituals from an early age, with the enigmatic elixir "The White Raven" being a key component. While it bestows extraordinary intelligence and intuition, with each dose, Aiden gradually loses a piece of himself, descending into an abyss of emotional emptiness and a fractured personality. As Aiden's world is plunged into an era marked by historical wars, slavery controlled by intricate contracts, and a dense web of political intrigues, he faces an internal conflict. His actions, dictated by a logic transcending morality, will often be brutal and manipulative. Raised by his stern yet caring grandfather Sebastian and an overprotective father Cedric, Aiden learns to survive, but his definition of a "decent man" becomes darkly personal. As he grows, mastering Mana in magical schools, delving into the secrets of Vita, and confronting the terrifying influences of Aether, Aiden does not seek salvation or redemption. His empty gaze intermingles with flashes of human emotion as the protagonist tries to understand his changing nature. Will he find meaning in what he deems "cool," even if it means shaping the world in ways others find immoral? This story is a dark journey through the mind of a manipulator who has lost his soul but gained powerful influence in a world that allows it.

Queen(s)

"History is written by those who survive. Myth is what remains when truth is too dangerous to speak." Long ago, the world was not ruled by kings or empires, but by Queens beings woven from the very fabric of magic itself. Five Queens, each the living embodiment of elemental power and divine will: The Flame Queen, fierce as fire and just as consuming. The Ice Queen, keeper of memory and time's endless frost. The Shadow Queen, mistress of secrets and the veil between life and death. The Nature Queen, heart of growth, spirit, and renewal. And the Light Queen, shining beacon of hope, healing, and illusion. Yet above them all rose the Black Queen—the true sovereign who held the essence of all elements within her. She was the fulcrum of balance, the eternal ruler whose presence bound the others in harmony. Together, they ruled from Elaria, the Sacred Kingdom—a realm suspended between worlds, where magic poured from the very stones, and the skies shimmered with a thousand hues of power. There, peace was not a hope—it was law. Magic flourished, and the land breathed with eternal life. But peace is fragile. Beneath the shimmering towers and golden courts, a shadow stirred—an ancient betrayal that was not born of the Queens’ own hearts, but of a force unseen, a traitor cloaked in love and loyalty to a crown beyond the Queens’ reach. The War of Falling Stars tore the heavens asunder, casting the Queens into exile and sealing away Elaria from the mortal world. The skies burned red. The earth wept tears of ash. And magic withdrew, fading into myth. For three centuries, the world lived in silence, the Queens reduced to whispers and faded legends. The magic they wielded was lost—hidden, locked away by a spell woven from hope and despair alike. But the kingdom never forgot. And now, beneath the blood-red moon, a crimson beam splits the night sky—the sign of their return. From forgotten corners of the earth, girls with no memory of who they were awaken, marked by power that refuses to sleep. They walk among us, unaware that the fate of all rests in their hands.
